After earning my BA in Sculpture, fromProvidence College, I worked as a graphic designerin Boston and Seattle for many years. While I lovedthe creativity of print design and the magic of the software, it always bothered me that the final product of so many hours of detailed design work would quickly become out dated and end up in the recycling bin.

Let’s face it. You just can’t drink a great cup of coffeeout of a folded catalog… well, at least not twice.

I am thrilled to have made the shift back to working in clay. My current work is mainly functional. I enjoy playing with textures and colors against simple, clean shapes. I make pieces that seamlessly blend into my everyday life.They can hold a hot meal as easily as they can contain my daughter’s endless piles of crayons. They sometimes even bring me a bit of joy while emptying the dishwasher.I hope they will do the same for you.
